Record national strike wave swells as 300,000 hit the picket lines

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Keep going! The writer's strike succeeded and I believe the UAW strike will too. It's a fucking crime that the rail workers didn't go on strike, Congress be damned.
And miss me with that "b.. but Biden came back and negotiated sick days for them!" Horseshit. He got them a pitiful FRACTION of the days they asked for, and didn't address any of their other demands whatsoever. Such as ending Precision Scheduled Railroading, which may have been a factor in the East Palestine disaster.
There's been a weird narrative going around even on Lemmy every time this is mentioned that somehow Biden was actually a genius in that and everyone won.
It blows my mind that Biden/Congress didn't give the workers all of their completely reasonable demands if they were able to give them even SOME of their sick days. It is completely obvious how fucked those workers are treated and the disasters that can follow because of it and all we heard about was, "BuT mUh EcOnOmY!!!" Enjoy East Palestine you completely idiotic fucks, it'll keep happening.
